I can't believe what I just read. That's my grandpa's name and hand writing. The journal looks old enough and authentic. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Wait, Did my dad know? Why didn't he tell me this himself? I'm so angry and frustrated with everyone. Why wouldn't he just tell me before he died. It would have saved so much time. Why is this happening to me? Why couldn't I be normal? I'm a total idiot for not noticing there was something different about my grandpa. I have so many more questions than when I started. I just need to let go of my emotions for a bit and deal with one thing at a time. Logically speaking, I do now have answers to why I have been changing and the other things that happened. I also know what to expect but how am I going to get through this with the curfew going on?
Does my grandma know anything about this? Did she ever find out? She is a very smart woman and was very close to him despite what it says here in this journal. Sometimes I thought they could read each other's minds. That connection must have been very strong and possibly the best kind of love I have ever witnessed. I always wanted to have a relationship like theirs. How could grandpa keep such a big secret from someone he loved that deeply? If I was him I would have already told her. It's a pretty big secret and many people count on you to keep it safe regardless of the situation you are in.
"Hello? Can you hear me?" a voice says. I'm startled, looking around to find nobody and the entire house is quiet. It sounded so clear like she was right next to me. "Hey dummy, I'm in your head!" She laughs playfully. "What the hell?" I mutter to myself. "Let me guess and say you haven't got very far in those journals." she says slightly annoyed. Shortly after she says "You need to hurry up and get your thoughts under control because you are way too emotional. Werewolves within range could probably hear your thoughts as well." "Adrianna?" I inquired mostly to myself. "Duh and BTW this is called mind linking, now open your window" she retorts. I had a bad feeling about this, muttering to myself I try not to think so much and control my emotional burst in my head.
I jump up and look out all my windows and finally spot her walking up. I open it and look at her dumbfounded. I'm assuming she doesn't care about the curfew seeing as she is out and about. I tell her this could get me in big trouble and she could get into even more being out this late. She rolls her eyes at me and just asks if I was going to invite her in. I settle for the latter of two evils and help by pulling her in without making a noise. She wastes no time and asks me how far I've gotten in the journals and embarrassingly enough I told her I only got through one. She looks at me with a raised brow and mutters something to herself.
She looks through the journals and realizes then That I started with my grandpa's personal journal which was obviously a bad idea. She sighs and tells me that the next two are both guidebooks personally written by your grandpa to help me through everything. One is a guide to moon releasing and the other is for when you become Alpha. Both will come in handy now seeing as you know nothing of our world and need more guidance than expected. I am his only legacy and I am the pack's only hope. We haven't had an Alpha in months, the rogues are going crazy attacking livestock, and the other surrounding pack Alpha's are trying their best to keep the rogues away until I make my transition but they can't hold them out for long.
I was chosen by your grandfather and a few of other's from the pack to train you and get you through the transition so you can take over as Alpha. They all figured since I was closest to your age that it would go over better since your grandfather isn't here to help you anymore. I made my transition last year. I'm one of the smartest and fastest in my age group. She says "I may not be the strongest but I can outwit everyone I come across. "The next full moon is in eight days and you need to study these like your life depends on it because it does'' she says. I will be back then before the moon reaches its peak. You must be in the woods to make your transition or bad things could happen. I will join you as soon as you have completed it.
"We will begin training after and unfortunately you get the crash course. Then you become Alpha and we fix all the problems. of course that's completely up to you. Are you going to help us? And become Alpha?" she said before we both heard a noise in the house. Before I know it she's gone out the open window and I hear footsteps. I hurry to the window and close it and quickly turn out the light before I hear my door open. My mom walks in and the dogs lift their heads, slightly growl before recognizing her. I'm pretending I'm asleep, she clears my bed of all the books, kisses me goodnight, and walking out she closes the door. That was a close one and I'm not so sure she bought it. I almost forgot my pet's were in here and they didn't make a sound when Adrianna was here. Damn, that girl really is quick.
A sigh escapes my mouth as I start to feel all the pressure come down on my shoulders. I have eight days to study and A life changing "test" to take with no choice in the matter. I do have to decide if I'm going to become Alpha and try and save everyone. I knew this would be a difficult year but I did not expect anything like this. So on top of finishing school, graduating on top, and getting into a good college, I have to study hard to transform into a werewolf. Then I've got to become Alpha and save the day, also keeping up appearances, all while my parents don't find out. This should be a piece of cake right? I just need to get some sleep and start over tomorrow. Hopefully everything seems clearer and I can focus on one task at a time and make everything fit my schedule. I pet my night guardians, and roll over to sleep.
